[NTLUG:Discuss] OT: Why does remote command over ssh not return control?

[Dennis Daupert]

I'm running remote scripts over ssh as cron jobs. The script invocation is simply:

ssh hostname scriptname  (where scriptname is in path of user)

Most of the scripts run fine, but one particular one -- the most important one, of course -- hangs at the end, and never lets the ssh session go. 

Does this sound familiar to anyone? The script in question is propriatary, so I can't post it, but if the gory details are needed, I could change some of the names to protect the innocent.

Baffled again,
